Cosmetic composition for massage

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for massage, and more particularly, to a cosmetic composition for massage that provides a smooth rolling sensation even with a low oil content by controlling the ratio and content of polar and nonpolar oils and properly penetrates into the skin according to the control of the absorption rate by using a gum, which solves the problems with the existing massage compositions such as greasiness caused by a high content of oily ingredients and inconvenience associated with a need for cleansing the skin after use.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A cosmetic composition for massage comprising: with respect to the total weight of the composition,
 1 to 5 wt. % of a saccharide surfactant; 
 5 to 25 wt. % of an oil, the oil comprising a polar oil and a nonpolar oil at a ratio of 2:1; and 
 0.1 to 3 wt. % of a gum. 
 
     
     
       2. The cosmetic composition for massage as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the saccharide surfactant is prepared from at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of ribose, xylose, arabinoise, glucose, mannose, galactose, xylulose, and fructose by an esterification reaction with an alkyl fatty acid, or by an etherfication reaction with a cetearyl alcohol or a C 12-22  alcohol. 
     
     
       3. The cosmetic composition for massage as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the polar oil comprises at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl group (COO—), ketone group (CO—), and hydroxyl group (—OH). 
     
     
       4. The cosmetic composition for massage as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the nonpolar oil is an hydrocarbon oil comprising hydrocarbon alone. 
     
     
       5. The cosmetic composition for massage as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the gum comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, carrageenans gum, guar gum, gellan gum, and locust bean gum. 
     
     
       6. A cosmetic composition for massage comprising, with respect to the total weight of the composition,
 1 to 5 wt. % of a saccharide surfactant is prepared from at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of ribose, xylose, arabinoise, glucose, mannose, galactose, xylulose, and fructose by an esterification reaction with an alkyl fatty acid, or by an etherfication reaction with a cetearyl alcohol or a C 12-22  alcohol; 
 5 to 25 wt. % of an oil, the oil comprising a polar oil having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl group (COO—), ketone group (CO—), and hydroxyl group (—OH) and a nonpolar hydrocarbon oil at a ratio of 2:1; and 
 0.1 to 3 wt. % of a gum comprising at least one gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, carrageenans gum, guar gum, gellan gum, and locust bean gum.
